Rosslyn Dray, Bournemouth University, met with some practitioners who supported one of their first placement students in a statutory team in Wiltshire. Together they have created a resource (25 mins) which they hope will be useful to students, practice educators, placement supervisors and teams when planning placements. It is all about their experience of starting and managing a placement during COVID-19. The practitioners involved took an imaginative approach and hope this may be useful to others offering or thinking of hosting a student.
